    I love Cocker Spaniel's, Bloodhound's, Bassethound's, Border Collies, Springer Spaniel's and nearly all dog's really except, Jack Russell's or small yappy type dog's. Not big on scrawney Grey hounds or similar or any dog that you can't see their eyes, i.e. very hairy ones.

    don't like them little feckers at all!!!


    These and similar types like llaso apso (hope I spelled that right !) and tibetian terrier are my favourites. I'm surprised that the majority of you prefer the bigger breeds.

    I'm a sucker for anything shaggy, as long as it is a reasonable size.

    lookswise this fellow would be my favourite

    My favourite breed of dog would have to be Alsatian. They are big, strong, they make good guard dogs and IMO they are highly intelligent.

    They breed of dogs I like least is small "toy" dogs like sh1tzu etc. They just annoy me, probably because of their constanst screeching and yelping. :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭deaddonkey


    i like german shepherds, belgian mailinois/tervuren shepherds, rotties, dobies, gold retrievers, springer spaniels, dachshundss, jack russells and border collies, staffies, beagles, 'pitbull types', greyhounds/lurchers/salukis etc all a lot.

    not too keen on labs

    hate yorkies, ****zus, westies, most small dogs really. i really can't stand king charles spaniels and their ilk. at all. awful creatures. cats don't do much for me either :D
    edit, i can't type 'shi tzu', i dunno how it's meant to be spelled. lol.


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭deaddonkey


    nice to see the shepherds coming out on top.

    truly the kings and queens of the canine world. a smarter or more loyal dog there is not

    Pugs are the best ever!

    Huge personalities and they really have a sense of humour along with their stubborn streak!

    I would be lost without mine!!

    Would love one of these if I got a bigger garden/house

    Andrawolf, they are both very beautiful! Possibly my favourite breed.
    I do like the temperament of the border collie though, and they also are very intelligent and beautiful animals.


  • Registered Users Posts: 109 ✭✭Danes


    Great Danes are far and away my favourite breed closely followed by Greys and lurchers. I'd love to have a Staffie at some point too as any I've ever met have been great humoured dogs. My least favourite breed is the Westie. I've never owned one but have fostered and transported them and their personality just doesnt suit me at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 munsterchick


    Oh no, I love my little jack russel,We have always had Jrt growing up. But I asolutely love rotties and german shepards. Just don't have the room for them at the moment, My OH loves staffies, he grew up with them.

    There are so many toy dog haters out there!!
    Personally my fave is the shih tzu. I've got one at the moment and she's the most adorable, good tempered affectionate dog I've come across in a while. (I'm very biased, I know!)

    Least favourite would be the pit bull, they are really scary!

    The English Bull Terrier is a terrier, so is that other Bull Terrier.
    well done-how did you figure that out!
    My favourite dogs are rotty's and lab's-have 1 of each and there so intelligent and friendly.
    would love a staffy, bull terrier, mastiff
    Not a fan of small dogs-i like them but would not want 1.

    Have to say springers are the kindest and most gentle dogs I have ever known. But for a handsome dog I think that either the German Shepard or the Alaskan Malamute are the only wqay to go


  • Registered Users Posts: 404 ✭✭colmranger


    For me the Labrador has always been the king of dogs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Fave Dogs

    Huskies
    Wolves
    Collies

    Least Fave Dogs

    Yorkshire terriers
    Pitbulls
    British bulldogs (and other slobbery types)

    I used to not like small dogs at all, untill a Westie walked in
    the door. Are they considered toy dogs?

    They're not toys, they're (working) terriers.

    Westies kick ass, cute and cuddly without being yappy little bastards and they're lovely playful things. Both my boys had the sweetest temperments too.
